EM: By way of introduction, one of my best experiences was when I had to pitch my previous company on Danish national TV. I knew I needed help to be able to stay centered and focused, so that the people who were listening should be able to feel behind my words, and sense who I was. That was in 2018, and I have learned and changed a lot since. Nevertheless, I really nailed the performance and it was so much fun! I felt myself speaking and behaving from a sense of deep inner balance and authenticity. I believe it was because I trained with Merete.
Merete is one of my very dear friends, an older sister, whom I admire and love to talk to. She is funny, her mind is agile, and her heart is open. I really hope Merete’s wisdom will reach more people, because she is one of the best facilitators I know. I am honored to introduce Merete to the readers of Heartfulness magazine and happy that this is coinciding with the English translation of her book, The Magic of the Voice.
The Masters of ancient wisdom traditions have written about the voice. According to philosophical texts, OM is a sacred sound, the sound of the universe, encompassing all other sounds within it. The mystery of sound is a deep innate wisdom we all carry and can access rather simply.
Hi Merete, thank you for everything you’re doing in this world. You have been an entrepreneur for many years and have built up a successful coaching business. You also have two adult children, whom you parented as a single mom while building your company. That is quite an achievement.
I am curious to know why your method has become well known and used by many companies and individuals in high positions in Denmark. What is it that made your company grow and become a fruitful career path, while remaining your deepest passion?
